Linlithgow Palace


Bannockburn is the scene of the epic battle where Robert's army defeated the English in a major turning point in the Wars of Independence .

The Outlaw King tells the story of how Robert the Bruce, who defied England’s King Edward I, became a hunted fugitive but turned the tables to inflict crushing defeat on the English army at Bannockburn and ultimately won Scottish independence.

Blackness Castle stars in The Outlaw King

Many or most of the extras involved are Scottish - the production company was besieged by Scots aiming to play the part of foot soldiers in King Robert’s army when it advertised for extras last year. Veteran actor James Cosmo, who appears in the film reportedly says it could be Scotland’s greatest ever movie, likely to replicate for key Scottish historic sites the phenomenal surge of visitors to Stirling in the wake of the 1995 release of Braveheart (in which he also starred). That will mean new droves of tourists heading for Blackness, already benefiting from its appearance in Outlander, and to many other locations across the central belt associated with the Scottish Wars of Independence.

Rounding off a golden year for major Scottish-based history epics a new movie about Mary Queen of Scots has been released . The film stars Oscar nominated actress Saoirse Ronan.

Fiona Hyslop said: “Scotland has the talent and the opportunity to grow its TV sector and the job of Screen Scotland is to make sure we seize the moment.”

Jenni Steele, film and creative industries manager at national tourism agency VisitScotland, said: “Film tourism is booming in Scotland, with Outlaw King and Mary Queen of Scots some of the exciting new films set to feature the country on screen. “Film and TV productions not only showcase the unique mix of stunning landscapes, rich heritage and fascinating stories Scotland offers, but can inspire set-jetting fans to visit, with research showing that one in five visitors come here after seeing Scotland on the big and small screen.”

Filmed entirely in 145 locations in Scotland, the movie was shot in key locations around the country, including Berwick and Edinburgh

Scotland has an amazing history of artists from JoLoMO to Jack Vettriano , of Singing Butler fame .
